If you mean a DEBIT card, then yes, but of course there will be the exchange rate and bank fees.

It should work, but you may be paying in Canadian money as in, the exchange rate. I would also notify your credit card provider and the credit union you have your debit card with that you will be traveling out of the country so they will not see transactions in another country as potential fraud and block your account.
